Images of Dispute

Scenes from the Städel’s Foundation History

The exhibition in the Cupola Hall groups works dating from the foundation years of the Städelsches Kulturinstitut and the following years so decisive for its collection strategy to the late 19th century. Based on the concept of “Images of Dispute” - the presentation on the beginnings of the Städel in the hallway and on the stairs - the focused show provides insights into the various tendencies in art at that time: the range of works spans from the Nazarenes’ art inspired by Christian subjects to historical, landscape and Städel Museum« genre painting, in which the new interest in national history, nature, and everyday life becomes manifest.

The shown examples by Johann Friedrich Overbeck, Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, Louis Gallait, Carl Friedrich Lessing, and Jacob Becker not only reveal the various artistic and academic 19th-century trends but also the contemporary German public’s expectations.
